    How Do I "Chew/Dip" Cotton Boll?

    For some reason, all tobacco tastes like shit right now. Like horrible, burnt pencil shavings steeped in shit overnight. I'm pretty pissed. Going through a stressful time and just want to enjoy my pipe, but I just can't. I've tried three bowls in a row and it's definitely my body chemistry right...

    Florida Gainesville/Ocala Area Pipe Meet

    Anyone in the area want to get together for a smoke? I'm still looking for a gathering place, but I wanted to see if anyone lives in this area first. Anyone live around or near Gainesville/Ocala Florida??

    Tax Increase Is BACK On The Bill...

    Props to @lawdawg and @briarbuck for pointing this out. Let the cellaring games begin. https://cei.org/news_releases/ill-advised-nicotine-tax-thrown-back-into-democrats-build-back-better-bill/

    Tax Increase Removed From Bill!

    Shout-out and all credit to @Worknman for finding this and posting it on the "2100% tax" thread I started awhile back, but I figured I would start thread another to catch people's eye and spread the word. As the article states, were not out of the woods yet, but hopefully this sticks...

    C&D CRFw/P Jar Time

    I bought 2 tins, one to age and the other to smoke as soon as it's ready... So how long should I leave it to breathe in the jar before smoking it? I am not as experienced with VaPers. I know I could smoke it occasionally to find out myself but I wanted to ask you fine people and waste less bowls...

    Need Nicotine Strong Bulk Blends

    Title says it all. I already have 2 lbs of OJK, looking for bulk options that are very strong nicotine wise. I'd like to keep it as close to cheap as possible, but it doesn't have to be $38 /lb cheap, ya know? I'm willing to pay a bit more. My experiments with wild tobacco have been dismal, it's...

    Where To Find Vintage Capstan Blue

    Don't laugh. Okay, go ahead and laugh... Where on earth could I possibly find some Capstan Blue that's a couple decades old? Tall order I'm sure, but I would love to have some. As old as possible.

    Difference Between VA & Burley Nicotine Effects

    Has anyone noticed a difference between the quality of the nic hit between Virginia and Burley? Besides strength - I'm talking about the quality/nature of the buzz. I know some people say alcohol is alcohol, but I drank for many years and there is absolutely a difference between the buzz you...

    What Is This On My Pipe Master?

    I purchased an IM Corona Pipe Master and I love it, but I can't figure it what this little lense looking dot is, right below the flame opening. Anyone have a clue?

    Best Bulk VaPer Flakes

    Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake comes to mind, but it's slightly pricey by the pound. Might be no avoiding that, but still. Any suggestions?

    2100% Increase On Pipe Tobacco Date?

    Can anyone here find some dates on this proposed legislation? Like when it hits the floor, when it will be voted on?

    Best Bulk Englishes

    With this stupid bill on the table to hike pipe tobacco taxes, I am looking at doing some serious cellaring. I only have about 20lbs of 'baccy, and that is about 4 years for me. I have a decent amount of Burley blends, and I am ordering some Newminster 400 luxury navy flake and Sutliff slices...

    Smoking Pure Nicotiana Rustica

    Just lit a bowl of wild tobacco from LeafOnly.com, gonna see what happens. It's a very small bowl, a little Roma Court. I've never smoked it straight before, but I have sprinkled a bit in some of my own blends back when I first started with the pipe. I was always too scared to try it on its own...

    Xikar Pipeline

    I have to say, I am decently pleased with the Xikar Pipeline, which was apparently revamped earlier this year. I suppose this post will act as a review. Overall it feels pretty solid. It's not a $100 lighter, and doesn't feel like it, but it's close. Close enough for $50. It feels good in the...

    Cleansing The Palate Between/During Smoking Sessions

    I smoke almost exclusively in late afternoon/evening/night, and I pretty much smoke back to back bowls. Because of this I have always struggled with palate fatigue at times, even sipping like a good boy. I have recently started having water and "bergs" as @jiminks has eloquently put it, and I...

    Do You Like Your Xikar Pipeline?

    We'll I lied, I have another pipe lighter post. On a whim I bought the Xikar Pipeline, since it has a lifetime warranty, looks classy as hell, and I noticed the tamper looks a lot wider than the Colibri Pacific, though why they made a half moon shape instead of a whole damn circle I don't know...

    Pipe Lighters And Special Fuel

    When I get my new Colibri, what kind of fuel should I use? I see brands always saying to use their brand, and I figure that's BS, but I want to be sure.

    Gawith Shipment At Smoking pipes??

    Yeah, so last night I searched for Gawith stuff there and it showed pretty much everything is out of stock, and even a lot their stuff being completely removed and not showing up at all, like the ropes and such. However.... As I browsed the section "Tobaccos we think you might like", there...

    Pipe Lighter Ignition Issues

    One last lighter related thread. I have a Lotus Condor that is really nice, except that I have to click the thing a dozen times just to get the flame going. Is there any way to repair this? I want to give it to a friend since I ordered a new lighter.
